About Crewed Catamaran DAYDREAM
DAYDREAM is a Leopard 62 crewed catamaran offering refined Caribbean cruising across the Virgin Islands and Leeward Islands. Her dual hulls provide exceptional stability and generous deck space, whilst contemporary interiors combine teak accents with open-plan living. Four queen cabins with private en-suites accommodate eight guests in understated comfort.
Captain Dr. Rusty Day brings rare oceanographic expertise to each charter, having founded MANTA marine research and education institute. His deep knowledge of local reefs and marine species enriches every anchorage. Chef Neely Woodson Powell curates island-inspired menus showcasing seasonal ingredients and signature cocktails, transforming meals into memorable experiences.
The yacht's outdoor spaces invite leisurely days of exploration. The aft deck offers sunset dining with unobstructed views, whilst the foredeck and flybridge provide ideal vantage points for watching dolphins or simply watching the horizon. Below deck, the saloon flows seamlessly into intimate cabin spaces, creating a serene retreat at sea.

The Charter Experience
Charter DAYDREAM through the crystalline waters of the Virgin Islands, Leewards, and Windwards. Snorkel pristine coral gardens, explore hidden anchorages beyond the usual routes, and enjoy bespoke itineraries tailored to your pace. Days unfold at your rhythm: morning paddle-boarding in deserted coves, afternoon fishing expeditions, or simply anchoring to watch the light change across the water. Evenings feature chef-prepared dinners on deck as the sun dips below the horizon. With Captain Rusty's guidance and Neely's culinary artistry, each day builds a seamless blend of exploration, flavour, and genuine island connection.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day charter departs St Thomas for a bespoke voyage through the USVI and beyond. Days might include snorkelling at premier coral formations under Captain Rusty's guidance, anchoring in St John's secluded bays, exploring the Leeward Islands' less-travelled coastlines, and terminating in St Croix. Each evening features sunset dining curated by Chef Neely, with menus reflecting the day's fresh catches and local market finds.
